Bought it - now just looking for a tree online

Thought this was a swingers chair

I wouldn't mind that to be honest lol
I needed it as a cheap hanging chair

Bloody great. I got email yesterday morning with a despatch note and tracking. Today morning got full refund and just now email that it was out of stock in first place. Just great.

I've just had an Email telling me that its Hermes fault and that even though I paid for next day delivery..... it MIGHT come tomorrow.... I wonder if I will get my " next day delivery " cost back.... bloomin annoying.

Has anybody received theirs yet ? I ordered and paid the extra for the faster delivery and have had nothing. It should have arrived yesterday but didn't and I haven't had any correspondence at all with expected delivery. Just wondering....

As long as the rafter you have is a minimum of a 4"x 2" section (the 4" should be vertical) and the unsupported span of the rafter is a max of 4'-0" then I would rather screw the heavy duty pigtail to the underneath of the rafter to a min depth of 2" into the 4" x 2" (drill a small pilot hole first to guide the pigtail and to stop the wood splitting). This should be more than ample to support your weight of 12 stone. If you fitted an eye bolt then you would have to drill a hole right through the rafter which in my mind would weaken it. If you want a belt and braces solution then you could fix another 4" x 2" rafter to the side of the existing one with a gap wide enough to to pass the eye bolt through it and and then fix the eye bolt to the two rafters using 2 No 4" long x 2" wide x 6 mm thick steel plates with a hole in the middle for the eye bolt to pass through; position one plate at the top and one at the bottom of the two rafters then securely fix the eye bolt to the rafters using the supplied nuts with the eye bolt (ie :- 1 nut underneath the bottom plate and the second nut above the top plate). Hope this helps.

OOS again..?

Thanks op. Lovely item. Ordered and voted hot. :smiley:

I was thinking of doing the same with mine (i have a carabiner from my potholing days). A question for you. Should i screw the pigtail screw into the side of one of the rafters? I'd be concerned about it taking all of my 12st if i screwed it into the underneath. Would an eye bolt right up through the rafter be safer?

Out of stock now

how to hang it

And definitely not a sex swing

Just ordered it and am ready to hang it up in the sun on my pergola

As a Mechanical Engineer/Draughtsman with over 50 years experience in the trade I agree with furbar888 comment. If the ropes for the chair were in the middle of the wooden bar and not at the extreme ends close to the upper attachment rope as shown then yes the bar would not be strong enough to carry 120kgs.
PS :- Have just ordered one for my Garden.......it will be fixed to my wooden Pergola via a Heavy Duty Pig Tail Screw in Swing Hook and a suitable Heavy Duty Carabiner (I have a spare one from my Rock Climbing days)

Looks like one of those chairs for drowning witches.

Bought it - now just looking for a tree online

That wooden bar gonna carry 120kg? I doubt that

Wonder if you can buy just the curved hanging frame you would normally find with these types off chair cheap enough? Unfortunately no handy tree sitting on the patio area!

Strong and stable

Hahaha :laughing:

Ordered :smiley:
Now I need to find some space and way to hang it lol

sounds daft but how do you hang this up? is it via a specialised hook on brickwork or?

Thought this was a swingers chair

Excellent find, + 3.6% Quidco to save a few more pennies.

that's a bit high up

Good find. £22.99 + del on amazon, good reviews. :smiley:

Thanks op. Not used Domu before - interested in their orb rocking chairs...
